The Opportunity Gap In the essay “The Facts about the Achievement Gap” Diane Ravitch accurately claims that we have made some progression in the achievement gap between Hispanic, black and white students. However, reformers argue this claim is false due to the standstill in the achievement gap. Ravitch continues to explain the academic progress continues to rise, while the achievement gap remains the same. Ravitch is proving that the “achievement gaps are only opportunity gaps” (para 31).…

A concerning, yet interesting set of data to analyze is that of the wage gap. Not only is the wage gap different based on gender, it also varies dramatically due to race. The wage gap is a prime example of the multidimensional nature of diversity. In the above graphs, the median hourly wages of both men and women of various races are compared to that of white males. As seen in the data on the left-hand graph, Asian males earn 117% as much as white males whereas Black males earn 73%, and…

Introduction Quantum dots (Q-Dots) is very small semiconductor particles that means it can be either conductors or resist electricity depending on the temperature and purity of the semiconductor. Q-dots range in size from 2-10 nm, so because of their small size, quantum mechanics governs the physics of the particles. The synthesis Q-Dots were first studied in 1982 by Efros and Ekimov, and then many developments have reported the synthesis of semiconductor nanoparticles.1 Q-Dots have unique…

The substrate is rotated in the center of the growth chamber to ensure even growth on its surface and its angle can be manipulated depending on which effusion chamber shutter is opened. The time the substrate is exposed to an effusion chamber is calculated. Based on the area of the substrate, the pressure in the chamber and the molecular weight of the species, the shutter time is calculated to ensure the desired thickness of the film which will be adsorbed on to the substrate. For example, when…

The achievement gap in many schools today is not a new concept or concern. In recent years, school districts have worked aimlessly to narrow or eliminate achievement gaps in classrooms across America, yet are seeing little if any positive increase. There is a large achievement gap in the area of children of color and white children in many schools. Unfortunately, this educational concern dates back to World War I, and we still battle in equality and funding of schools. “Funding schools as if all…

Overview of the Semantic Gap - What is it? The semantic gap is the difference between human perception of observations, activities, and objects and their computational or machine-based representations(). It is a split between high level features, or semantic information, and low-level features, of which there are many types. High-level features can include keywords, concepts, categories, or ontologies - virtually all things that lead to determining meanings of text-based information and phrases…

The achievement gap between rich and poor children extends little by little, and there is not an easy solution to close it. Our society sustains the idea that there must be a division of social classes. This is evident in the way the neighborhoods in large cities are constructed. The rich are secluded in the hills, while the poor live in the communities with factories and liquor stores on every corner. The social construct in the United States is to be blamed for this gap because it allows for…

Understanding the Innovation Gap “How Leaders Can Close the Innovation Gap” is an article by Claude Legrand and David S. Weiss published in the Ivey Business Journal, which claims to offer “concise commentaries” and “productivity-enhancing management advice” (Ivey Business Journal). However, the article does not echo the professionalism expected from any business journal, and would more aptly be seen as a passable entry on a blogging website. While four “enablers” for innovation are suggested,…

The wage gap is a highly controversial topic in politics, but it is not typically discussed in conjunction with education. According to a Hechinger Report article by Mikail Zinshteyn, “women earn more college degrees than men but receive lower wages.” Women reportedly are more successful in completing post-secondary schooling (Zinshteyn Hechinger Report). Out of women and men aged 25-29, 39% of women had earned their bachelor’s degree, but only 32% of men had (Zinshteyn Hechinger Report). In…
